well i am glad to say i learnt enough to last me a life time and that i have once again returned to jwd - sooner than i thought but suitably refreshed!.
i made a topic not so long ago about a family situation, thanks for your help with that everyone and your advice was spot on.. nothing much is going on here (well nothing new) - noah is well, megan is alright and i am fine also.
mum is being a bit funny with me but nothing too serious yet, i cornered her with something and for the first time not only could she not find an answer she couldn't think of anything on the spot of her own invention to answer me but otherwise everything is as good as it can be.. anyway, nice to be back.

my name's ben and i'm fresh off the boat, if you will.
are there any real life support groups for people like us, or is this as good as it gets?
i look forward to meeting you all.
Hi Ben, welome to JWD!
I've been out for 24 years and I didn't know about JWD until this year. I have no idea if there are live support groups but you are welcome here anytime day or night there is always some up at JWD.

i don't know if it's this time of year and i'm in serious need of a break, but i wake up exhausted in the morning and fall into bed a night.
anyone else feeling like this?
i't 15h00 in the afternoon and i'm ready for bed.
I know exactly how you feel!
It's 9:00am here and I had to pull myself out of bed. It doesn't help that everyone else in my house is off today And I have no weekends because it's spent with my son's high school band Now it's Monday morning and I'm a little grumpy because I don't feel like I had a weekend
I can't wait to go home and get in the bed I hope your day gets better and that you can catch up on some rest!

Me too and I'm not a morning person. I'm trying to get better thou.
It really pisses me off when I have to work and everyone else in the house is off, so when leaving this morning hubby snoring away (job closed today), youngest son (snoring away school closed), middle son was up but off so he's just "chillin" today. Even the damn dog is off today, his job is to watch the house while we are at work and school - since everyone is off except me, he even gets the day off and he didn't even walk me to the door this morning, just stretched and yawned!
Hope you guys have a good day!

dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
Good morning everyone! It's gonna be 92 degrees here today - where is fall already????
Emo have fun with the new toy, but 8 hours? I've never heard of that. See you learn something new everyday!
Have a happy Monday all!

we saw an elder the other night trying to convince a couple of kids that they were ready to be unbaptized publishers.
and then he went and added that he was baptized very young and they should too.
so, these two kids were feeling the pressure.
Oh yeah, it was get baptized or find other living arrangements. I got dunked!

i have been searching internet reviews about this and i can't seem to find a definite winner:.
what is the best kind of slimming underwear (panties) that are comfortable, won't roll down at the waist, and will be invisible under dress slacks?.
i've looked at spanx, bali, lipo in a box, and others.
I love my thongs, never have the wedgie feeling. But I understand that everybody is different. Just looking at the website Mrs. Jones posted made me have a hot flash
I hope you find the perfect undies for you

i am new here and i joined honestly to collect information to understand something a little better.
my boyfriend, well-now kinda boyfriend (were at a weird place) is a jehovah's witness and i am not.
he waited a little "far" into our relationship to tell me he was, which created a mess, honestly an emotional dyfunctional mess.
I mean I feel like everything he does is against his religion but he's so afraid his family will disown him that he lives that double life to keep them around.
This is the bottom line for anyone that may want to leave this religion.
I was gonna read all the responses before replying, but I got to this and had to stop. First of all you fell in love with a fake. He was not honest with you about his religion and what is expected of him to be a part of this religion.
He has not been honest with you about what will happen if he does marry you, what will happen if someone finds out that he is having a relationship with you not to mention if they find out he's having sex outside marraige.
And last but not least, he has not been open with you about the pressure that will be placed on him and you if you do not convert. He will never be able to live with you without being married and keep his family and friends not to mention being able to remain a Jdub.
You owe it to yourself and your child to not get involved in this religion. From one mother to another, pick up your child and run, far away from this man and his religion!
Welcome to JWD
